“National Wiggle Your Toes Day on August 6 offers people the chance to show off the digits on their feet! The day encourages giving our feet (and our toes) a little extra attention. Take a walk in the fresh grass and give your phalanges a little vacation. They’ll thank you. While you’re giving them some freedom, provide them with a buff, too. That’ll give them something to wiggle about. Another thing naked toes like to do is dangle in the water. Take them for a swim. Some spas even hire fish to nibble your toes to give them a fresh look. Afterward, they’ll give them a gentle massage. Your toes will wiggle in delight, then! Even little feet enjoy a gentle rub. Once the everyone relaxes, perhaps a few toe tickling games will ensue. Another way to look at this day is by going shoe shopping. Soon school will be starting up if it hasn’t already. Comfortably fitting shoes definitely make for happy feet, and happy feet wiggle their toes. Be sure everyone in the family tries on their shoes.”
My notes: Our feet, they take us places. Don’t neglect keeping them healthy.

This one's cute and silly, too!
But, yeah, our feet support our whole body & take us everywhere.
Walking on grass, sand, dirt, bare ground, whatever can mold to your feet...feels good.

I like to be bare foot when I am in the lawn. And when it is not cold.

"On August 6th, National Root Beer Float Day tells us to float a scoop of vanilla ice cream in an ice-cold mug of frothy root beer. The classic beverage creates a creamy treat loved by generations! Also known as the “Black Cow,” the root beer float got its start in Colorado in a mining camp. Frank J. Wisner of Cripple Creek, Colorado, gets the credit for inventing the “Black Cow” way back in August of 1893. One night Wisner, owner of the Cripple Creek Cow Mountain Gold Mining Company, was staring out the window and thinking about the line of soda waters he was producing for the citizens of Cripple Creek when he came upon an idea. The full moon that night shined on the snow-capped Cow Mountain and reminded him of a scoop of vanilla ice cream. He hurried back to his bar and scooped a spoonful of ice cream into the children’s favorite flavor of soda, Myers Avenue Red Root Beer. After trying, he liked it and served it the very next day. It was an immediate hit."
My notes: I used to have these when I was a kid. There was just something about Root Beer & vanilla ice cream that went great together. Do you like them?

"Pop a mint and smile on National Fresh Breath Day observed annually on August 6th. The day urges appreciation of oral hygiene and its importance. Dentists and oral care professionals applaud the day dedicated to fighting bad breath. Oral hygiene and the fresh breath associated with it are part of healthy, daily habits. Over time, poor dental care will cause mouth odor. Of course, the foods we eat contribute to bad breath, too. However, bad breath may be a symptom of a health condition or a side effect of a medication."
My notes: Our teeth are important to us. Untreated tooth infections can lead to heart problems. So it's not just a matter of vanity.
